Loyalton's weather is affected by its location in the Sierra Nevada mountains. High pressure systems dominate in the summer, making the air sink and warm up, leading to hot and dry days.

In the winter, low pressure systems bring cold air and precipitation, causing snow and rain. Loyalton's valley location means it's surrounded by mountains, which block or redirect air flows, making the air pressure change rapidly.

The Sierra Nevada mountains create an orographic effect, where air is forced to rise, cool, and condense, resulting in more precipitation on the western side.

Loyalton's climate is Mediterranean, characterized by dry summers and wet winters. The changing air pressure throughout the seasons brings distinct weather patterns, with high pressure in summer and low pressure in winter.
